“Come,”
Jesus said. So Peter got out of the boat. He walked on the water toward
Jesus. But when Peter saw the wind, he was afraid. He began to sink.
He cried out, “Lord! Save me!” Right away Jesus reached out his hand
and caught him. “Your faith is so small!” he said. “Why did you doubt
me?” Matthew 14: 29-31 NIRV

There will be days when doubt will creep in the soul
of our well-being. We will forget to trust the One who provides great
strength. Fear will try and rob our faith and we will need to be
reminded how to trust.

Jesus demonstrated the power of
love. He performed many miracles. Peter walked on water. But, when He
began to sink, He called for Jesus to help. His faith was weakened and
He was afraid. When we’re afraid, God longs for us to BELIEVE more, so
we will SUFFER less.

When we find ourselves sinking, the sense
of need drives us to the One who saves. Jesus reminds us why we must
come to Him. He pulls us from the waves of worry. And, when we’re ready
to be lifted, He leads us safely to the shore. He hears our prayers for
strength and guides us where we find refuge and HOPE in Him.

Christ is NEVER far from us in time of need. There WILL be storms in our
lives. But, He WILL strengthen our faith, as He strengthens us. He will
guide and provide all the days of our lives. We must prayerfully seek
Him with all of our hearts and gratefully remember; He has the power to
do GREAT things.

Dear God, Thank you! You demonstrate Your
holiness, when we need to be reminded not to doubt. Thank you for mercy
and grace. We will find comfort in the arms of Jesus and gratefully
remember why we must always trust in YOU. Amen
